GRAYLING – The North Central Michigan Community Foundation (NCMCF) is the Grayling Area Chamber of Commerce Spotlight-A-Member for July 2021.
NCMCF is an affiliate foundation of the Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan, which employs six staff members.
Affiliate Director Christine Hitch said NCMCF is overseen by a volunteer board of local business and civic leaders. Currently there are eight people on this board. They also have many youth volunteers (approximately 30) throughout Crawford, Ogemaw and Oscoda Counties who are part of our Youth Advisory Council (YAC) program.
